      Nicht nur sei das bestehende System unsäglich kompliziert, es bedeute auch, wie Lallemand betrübt feststellte, dass sich auf der anderen Seite des Globus eine Äquatorialzone von knapp vierhundert Kilometern zwischen den Antimeridianen von Paris und Greenwich erstrecken.
      Not only was the existing system unspeakably complicated, it also meant, Lallemand noted sadly, that on the other side of the globe an equatorial zone of barely four hundred kilometers stretched between the antimeridians of Paris and Greenwich.
